These are not easy. I mean, if it's your hometown, or a place you have visited a lot, then you should be able to get them, but otherwise, it's just some streets and an airport.

This one has vegetation so it's not in the desert. It's got dense residential development, close to the airport, which is interesting. Almost like the airport is near downtown. No river in the shot.

I got nothing.

Hint, the pink stuff there is sand.

San Diego
San Francisco
Iran
Iraq
Myrtle Beach

Vegas?
I've never really been, but the airport seems a little small for it to be Vegas.

I'm going to keep guessing Vegas on these until I'm right.

It's Vegas.

Thanks for playing "Where is it?"

Did we complain too much? Sorry.

HA HA , I lied!

WHERE IS IT?

pretty, I like the spirals in the water.

I know.

It's the place where there was speculation a couple of years ago that the Noah's Ark story originated there.

Yeah, I was just waiting for ... "No, wrong.. it actually IS Philadelphia!"

The Black Sea. And I didn't cheat this time.

That really is a beautiful image. I love how because of the curvature of the Earth, you have the Western half of the sea reflecting some glare from the sun, but the Eastern side isn't. I also really like the swirls in the water. It's probably pollution of some sort, but it's still pretty.

Yes, Black Sea. Wiki says:

Quote:

The Black Sea underwent a catastrophic environmental collapse in the early 1990s caused by chronic nutrient pollution from farms, feed lots, and municipal sewers throughout its vast watershed. Massive algae blooms resulted in hypoxic conditions across the ecologically-critical northwest shelf, wiping out much of the flora and fauna there. Perhaps because of the attendant ecological disruptions, an alien species - Mnemiopsis leidyi -- was able to establish itself in the basin, exploding from a few individuals to an estimated biomass of one billion metric tons.[16]

Recently, scientists have noted signs of ecological recovery, in part due to the collapse of agriculture (and subsidized fertilizer usage) in much of the lower Danube basin and the construction of new sewage treatment plants in Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria in connection with membership in the European Union. Mnemiopsis leidyi populations have been checked with the arrival of another alien species which feeds on them.[17]
